Books have always had consumer intent! Are people really not reading that much anymore?

Interesting to see the link on the resubmission to Google article. Does Google have a team of people dedicated to looking at those and how many actually get back into the index?

Anyone experienced this first hand?

@PS3: to my knowledge, yes, there is a team analysing these reinclusion requests, although that’s not their only job (which is why getting a response may take ages).

Thanks for the link to viral videos. I have already seen the “will it blend” video, but i have completely forgotten it. Puts my brain into gear again, maybe something useful will come out of it.
